THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-25, 27 and 29-33, and 4 more places -- 19.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Jumpsuit?

127 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Jumpsuit hard to play on drums?

49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Jumpsuit?

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 12, 36, 40, 110 and 114.
